Excellent pictures nigel, and you seem to have a nice eye for going that bit further with your models. As for the comments made in reference to post`s that have had a great deal of time spent on creating them with little recognition, i think you have may slightly ( possibly) missed the mark on this one. you are right in saying that this forum is still in its infancy and does require to grow to stay, there are things operating in the background constantly to help the forum grow, recent competitions have shown a very good response to this, it pains me slightly that you have felt let down by the forum ( thats how it appears to come accross) as myself and a few others have done a lot too help the forum. Your ben ain post i though was very informative and a pleasure to read, the work put into it with the steam plant is astonishing, However the forum has always tried to cover as many aspects of modelling as possible, you will find depending on time of year and weather that some areas show more posts than others. it seems it`s the way it works.Not everyone browsing at that point will feel obliged to post a reply as to the quality of your work or post, it doesn`t mean that peopel dont appreciate the work behind the scenes, at the time of writing this there have been well over 600 views of your post, not a bad record !
None of the members here are forced to post, the forum is purely a place to discuss and share tips, show current projects and future projects and generaqlly be with like minded people, if you dig about you will see lots and lots of information posted by wonwinglo, a lot of it dedicated to the flying side of the hobby, but not all of it , although the information is not usefull to you at the time it`s posted , it`s there for browsing. it can be a bad habit to log in and just check new posts, there`s awealth of info in posts dating back months.
All in all, i think that all members posts are fully apreciated in their content and what has gone into posting them.
